Low HB in third trimester
I am in 29 week of pregnancy and my HB has come down to 9.
I am taking cibifer tab and Dexoange liquid, still it has decreased.
I am really worrying. This is my rainbow pregnancy and have cervical cerclage placed.
I am fearing if this will harm my precious baby.

Please consult with your Gynecologist who is going to look after you during delivery. This is not a difficult question. But this should be put to the Doctor who is looking after you.
